I thought the general assumption was that incognito mode was designed to stop websites from tracking you, not the browser.
It's neither. It's to stop recording in your local history. To stop people who might be using the same computer as you from snooping.
Look at how they marketed it when it first came out. It's when you want to buy your partner a gift without them knowing.
